One caveat that Google notes is the Assistant will only be coming for users using English in the US.

Additionally, Google has announced that it will be rolling out the Assistant to even more phones than before, now looping in Android Lollipop users for the fun. This is fantastic news for people with older devices, of which there are a lot – over 26% of Android users still use Lollipop. Interesting that Google decided to bring it to iPhone before fixing up its own users.

Who will get Assistant?

Thankfully, the language and regional restrictions for Assistant on Lollipop aren’t nearly as tight as they are on tablets. English-speaking users in the US, UK, India, Australia, Canada and Singapore will have access, as will Spanish speakers in the US, Mexico and Spain. Later on, the feature will come to Italy, Japan, Germany, Brazil and South Korea.

Thanks to the latest word from Google, Assistant will soon be on a staggering amount of devices. Using the company’s own data, it now (or will soon) reach over 80% of all Android users around the world – quite the achievement.
